Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Daytime, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, House, Ratings,
Last night saw the introduction of ABC’s new comedies (Cavemen, Carpoolers) and a shrunken Dancing With The Stars results show. In the end, FOX took the evening followed by ABC, CBS, NBC and CW.
8pm
- The Biggest Loser (7.4 million viewers, 3.3/8 in 18-49 demo) showed an improvement from last week, though it didn’t have DWTS to contend with.
- Cavemen (3.3/10) and Carpoolers (3.4/9) both debuted with 9 million viewers.
- At 15.5 million, NCIS (3.3/10) won the viewership battle, but tied with Cavemen in the important demo.
9pm
- House (17.3 million viewers, 7.1 rating/17) grew upon its numbers from last year
- A shortened Dancing with the Stars (4.3/10) took in 15.7 million viewers.
- Critical fave Reaper (2.8 million, 1.3/3) drew more viewers than its Beauty & the Geek (2.6 million, 1.3/4) lead-in.
10pm
- Law & Order: SVU (11.7 million, 4.5/12) took the win despite being down from last week.
- Emmy-award winner James Spader and Boston Legal (3.1/8) attracted 10.9 million viewers.
- Cane (9.2 million, 2.5/7) saw smaller numbers than last year’s quickly-canceled Smith.

Dancing With The Stars: Week 2 Loser
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
Wow. Dancing With The Stars fans really don’t like models.
After booting off Josie Maran last week, the voters cleaned house and got rid of her male counterpart tonight: Albert Reed.
Although Albert scored a 21 last night (putting him in a five-way tie), he sadly couldn’t outcharm that low-scoring, ‘mature’ guy (a.k.a Wayne Newton). As for Mark Cuban—who only scored an 18—I’m just going to assume he called in a few favors.
Going back into the DWTS archives, I found it extremely interesting how poorly other models have fared in this competition. Remember Paulina Porizkova? She was the first one eliminated last season. And how about Rachel Hunter? She was eliminated third in Season 1 (when there were only six competitors total).
I’m not really trying to make a statement or anything (because I really couldn’t care less)—I just thought I’d give you something to ponder.
ABC Takes Ratings Lead Sunday, Monday Nights
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, Dancing With The Stars, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Heroes, Prison Break, The Bachelor, Ratings,
This weekend’s ABC premieres made it clear audiences prefer their dramas soapy on Sunday nights.
- Although Desperate Housewives (19.3 million viewers, 7.4/17 share in 18-49 demo) and Brothers & Sisters (13.3 million, 5.1/13) were both down from last year’s premieres (23% and 15% respectively), both shows earned their best numbers since Nov. 26th.
- Cold Case (13.5 million, 3.4/8) and Shark (11.4 million, 2.7/7) did improve upon last week’s premieres, though Shark’s numbers were lower compared to last year’s time slot holder (Without a Trace).
- The Simpsons (8.4 million, 4.2/11), King of the Hill (7.2 million, 3.5/9) and Family Guy (7.9 million, 4.2/10) all underperformed their numbers from last Sunday.

Jane Seymour Absent From Tonight’s ‘Dancing With The Stars’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
The reason Jane Seymour is even a part of Dancing With The Stars is the same reason why she’ll be absent from tonight’s results show.
Jane’s 92-year-old mother, Mieke Frankenberg, passed away yesterday in England. She suffered complications from a stroke she had earlier this year. It was Frankenberg’s love of DWTS that helped inspire her daughter to participate.
Seymour is currently en route to England for her mother’s funeral services. Although she’ll be absent from tonight’s broadcast, she is expected to return next week (assuming the viewers voted for her performance last night).

Dancing With The Stars: Week 2
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
Enough with the separation of the sexes. Monday’s show gave us what we wanted to see: the men and women competing on the same playing field. Did Mark Cuban do enough last night to raise his dancing profile? Were Helio and Sabrina able to outdo their own performances from last week? Read on!
MELANIE BROWN (partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy)
(Dance: Foxtrot/ Song: ‘Take On Me’)
Scary looked beautiful in her pink dress tonight. Despite any grief Maksim may give Mel about her dancing ability, I thought she glided effortlessly across the floor. Len said the ‘B’ stood for ‘ballroom’; he never imagined she would be able to hold her posture so beautifully. Bruno compared her classy look to Lena Horne and her toes to Ginger Rogers. Carrie Ann complimented her posture but advised her to watch her shoulders. Score: 7/8/8 (23)
MARK CUBAN (partner Kym Johnson)
(Dance: Mambo/ Song: ‘Ride Wit Me’)
While I was slightly disturbed to see him in a sleeveless shirt, I was pleasantly surprised by how fit he looked. And thank goodness the facial hair was gone—what a dramatic difference! He appeared to have a lot of fun with his dance tonight. Carrie Ann wasn’t sure if he did a proper mambo, but was certain he made her laugh. Len thought Mark’s lower half was a bit wooden—but gave him props for his hard work and will to win. Bruno said it looked like a ‘bulldog chasing a squirrel’. Score: 6/6/6 (18)

‘Dancing With The Stars’: Week 1 Loser
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
Sometimes an elimination is based on dancing ability, sometimes its based on votes. Tonight’s ousting was appropriately a combination of both.
Josie Maran, the uncoordinated beauty, was booted off tonight as widely predicted. The supermodel, who scored a dismal 16 Monday night, faced off with Mark Cuban in the Bottom Two. (The billionaire, who actually earned more points than Floyd Mayweather and Wayne Newton on Tuesday, apparently couldn’t buy himself a fan base.) Luckily, it was the sourpuss and her attitude problem that were cast off into Dancing With The Stars history. (I understand she was upset—but did she have to leave on such a bitter note?)
Looking back at what I wrote on Aug. 29th (when the cast was announced), I have to wonder if other women shared my (petty) feelings:
“Josie Maran—The supermodel of the female contestants. I’m already voting against her.”
But that’s not really why she’s gone. We all know she deserved to lose. Right?
Dancing With The Stars: Week 1 (The Men)
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
Tonight was Day 2 of the special three-day Dancing With The Stars premiere. Monday was ladies only; this time it was all about the men. Sabrina Bryan set the bar high yesterday with her score of 26. Did any man rise to the challenge tonight?
CAMERON MATHISON (partner Edyta Sliwinska)
(Dance: Foxtrot/ Song: “Moondance”)
The All My Children star knows he has a loyal built-in fan base—but would he do enough to actually earn their votes?
Cameron was a bit stiff his first time out, though it could have been due to the degenerative bone condition he suffered as a child (cue violins now). But when he wasn’t just standing there looking like Edyta’s prop, he looked like he was dragging her across the floor. Len compared the performance to a ‘faucet’ that sometimes flowed, sometimes splattered. Bruno was impressed with Cameron’s long arm lines but said the dance went soft somewhere in the middle. Carrie said they started off a bit weak, but agreed with Bruno on Cameron’s lines. Score: 7/7/7 (21)

UPDATE: Drew Lachey New ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Co-Host
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
To fill the beautiful sidekick role left open by Samantha Harris, the Dancing With The Stars producers turned to….Drew Lachey. The Season 2 winner—and scheduled host of the DWTS spin-off ‘Dance War’—will help make Tom Bergeron look good until Harris’ return (assuming she doesn’t enjoy her maternity leave too much).
As for the competition, tonight’s episode was all about the ladies. (The male contestants will take the stage Tuesday night). Except for the stick-thin yet uncoordinated model Josie Maran (who scored a dismal 16), the women overall did very well on their first time out. But the night was definitely owned by Cheetah Girl Sabrina Bryan. Her fierce and precise moves got her very near a perfect score on Day One (she scored a 26). Will this finally be the season for another female champion? We should probably size up the men tomorrow before placing any bets.
